On Wednesday, February 19, 2025, at 3:07 pm, crews from Central Mason were dispatched to a residential structure fire in the 600 block of E. Island Lake Drive. The first engine arrived within 4 minutes and found a detached two car garage with a working fire inside.
A citizen on scene advised he thought the garage was occupied. Central Mason crews entered the structure to perform a search for any occupants and to extinguish the fire. An adult occupant was located and pulled from the structure. Resuscitation efforts were made by our crews, unfortunately the adult occupant was pronounced deceased on scene.
The fire was quickly brought under control and was contained to the detached garage. No other injuries were reported. The cause of the fire is under investigation at this time.
Central Mason would like to thank South Mason Fire, West Mason Fire, Mason County Sheriff’s Office, Mason County Coroner’s Office, MACECOM, and PUD3 for their assistance on this incident.
